Volonte Park

Today I went for a walk in Anderson, CA at Volonte Park. It is a wildlife trail around a wetland. The ACID (Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District) canal has an aqua duct that goes over the top of the trail head on South Street. There is a skate park and baseball field and I never imagined that it was such a nice trail.

It was a nice place to walk. I picked my first black berry of the season. They had special workout stations along the trail made by Playworld Systems. It is for 50+. That is a contrast to the "official Skate Park" and the baseball field that are in Volonte Park. Someone must have gotten a grant.
I plan to walk there each of the 8 days Ian has left of summer school. He will be done July 6th.
My mom used to tell me every summer, "Get a job or go to summer school." Next year I hope my son choose, "Get a job."

I have also joined the library reading program for the summer in Anderson. My next blog I will discuss some of the books I am reading.

Lamentations 3:22-26

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;His mercies never come to an end;they are new every morning;great is Your faithfulness.“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“therefore I will hope in Him.”

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,to the soul who seeks Him.It is good that one should wait quietlyfor the salvation of the Lord.

About Me

I live in far northern California where it can be 110 degrees for weeks in the summer and below freezing for weeks in the winter. Average rainfall 26 inches.
My favorite things are quietly observing what God has created. I do every kind of needle craft, water color paint, watch birds and read in my spare times.
I work 9 to 10 hours a day at my local elementary school in reading literacy and YMCA after school.
